Dispatches from Birtherstan -18-22 May 2013

Patrick McKinnion — Wed, 22 May 2013 21:58:07 -0700

In today's dispatches…..oh hell. The only real thing of note is that the Birtherstani Civil Wars have erupted again, pitting Lord High Executioner Mike Zullo and his supporters against The Nitrous Queen herself, in a cage battle to determine who's the biggest attention whore. Also, Brian Reilly claims that the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office was bankrolling the Maricopa CCCP, though not nearly to the level that Brian Reilly wanted them to. Your taxpayer dollars at work. Gabe Zolna rehashes his creepy bondage and snuff fetish. Lame Cherry is creepier than usual. Jay Carney makes a birther joke, the birthers get...

Dispatches from Birtherstan -16-17 May 2013

Patrick McKinnion — Fri, 17 May 2013 17:10:00 -0700

In today's dispatches, not much except more of the continuing sputter of the birthers leaking balloon. George Miller fluffs up the Vermont Birther Ballot Jihad case and whines that the rest of the birtherstani faithful need to be patient in Alabama. Oh, and he's upset that Glenn Beck doesn't live in Birtherstan. Meanwhile it looks like Dr. Orly got a warning in her Indiana case, while showing a mix of lazy and paranoia. And Boy Defective Mike Zullo takes a break from his usual friday fluffing with Carl Gallups to have professional seditionist Sharon Rondeau help him prove to the...

Dispatches from Birtherstan -11-15 May 2013

Patrick McKinnion — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:21:36 -0700

In today's dispatches, the continuing meltdown of birtherstan continues. Besides the ongoing belief that Roy Moore will be the birtherstani's latest Great White Hope, you have them madly flailing around trying to find something, anything to attach to. James Manning exhibits sub-par scholarship, while Cody Judy waxed nostalgic about the heady days of Manning's pretend "trial". Deadbeat dad Larry Klayman's Alabama Birther Ballot Jihad case has become a magnet of suck, with not only Klayman himself, but special guest stars Lucas Smith and Boy Defective Mike Zullo. Dr. Orly harasses the media and pretty much anyone else to make sure...

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 7-10 May 2013

Patrick McKinnion — Fri, 10 May 2013 18:34:15 -0700

Honestly, I feel like I'm watching the implosion of birtherstan. Dr. Orly seems to be reduced to printing the far-right smear of the day, along with any other conspiracy theory out there. Birther Report isn't any different. Others are trying to staple gun birtherism to the coattails of the Benghazi conspiracy nuts, the Boston Marathon / Sandy Hook truthers, or any other smear they can. It's like watching a washed up old whore in a broken down bar still trying to turn tricks and convince people they're still attractive, still fresh, young desirable, even while they go on their arthritic...

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 4-6 May 2013

Patrick McKinnion — Tue, 07 May 2013 11:34:30 -0700

In today's (slightly delayed) dispatches, The Western Center for "Journalism" wants the Secret Service to violate their oaths and turn against the President. Walter Fitzpatrick is still upset over Darren Huff. Carl Gallups continues to slobber all over Mike Zullo. Ed Noonan wants a "second amendment solution" to the fact he keeps losing. Rudy Davis shows the world that yes, he's a flaming racist piece of crap. One of Dr. Orly's courtroom props wants a "prayer revolt". Is the new NRA president a birther? Dr. Orly plans to refile in Kansas. A proposed gun march in Washington DC strikes me...

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 2-3 May 2013

Patrick McKinnion — Fri, 03 May 2013 20:41:50 -0700

In today's dispatches, we have a university survey that shows the seeds of revolt and conspiracy have found some fertile ground among the GOP. Not surprisingly, the far right and the birthers prove the survey's point. Fox News Latino asks Dr. Orly questions about Sen. Ted Cruz. Not surprisingly, Dr. Orly gets annoyed that they didn't repeat everything she told them verbatim. Carl Gallups continues to build up his "Any Day Now" sand castle, even though the evidence over the last year is that Zullo and friends are trying to sell steer manure as sirloin steak to the birtherstani. Dr....

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 30 April - 1 May 2013

Patrick McKinnion — Wed, 01 May 2013 21:41:58 -0700

In today's dispatches, Carl Gallups continues to fluff Zullo's junk and promise the moon. He's also annoyed that debunkers are calling him a liar. (the obvious solution for that would be for him to stop lying, but so it goes.) Dr. Orly's cavity creeps are getting restless. Birther Report releases findings from former PUMA Mara Zebest and "Pixel Patriot" that the long form submitted in Alabama is another supposed forgery. Instead of the obvious, it's a copy of a copy of a copy. Louise Hodges shows the same firm grasp on reality as a greased pig on an astro-glide covered...

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 27-29 April 2013

Patrick McKinnion — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:33:05 -0700

In today's dispatches, Karl Swihart wants to know if his Indiana birther ballot jihad case is back from the dead. Dr. Orly is a grumpy camper. President Obama has fun with the birthers, the birthers have a collective breech-birth cow. Death threats, racism, and calls for revolt. Why yes, it is Birther Report. Dr. Orly's blog is just as full of death threats and calls for revolt, though Birther Report has the edge on anti-semitism. George Miller throws a temper tantrum over the very notion the scary black man is STILL President. The birtherstani come up with a new twist...

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 25-26 April 2013

Patrick McKinnion — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 18:10:53 -0700

In today's dispatches, The Alabama Democratic Party files a Amicus Curiae brief and a whole new conspiracy theory is born! Birther Report reacts to the latest "any day now" from the Zullo/Gallups/Gilliar comedy trio. Dr. Orly gives a press conference in front of the Sacramento chapter of "Wilford Brimley Clones of America", and then charters a bathyscaphe to find a new low to go to. Projection from the American Stinker, Ed Noonan throws a tantrum. Election fraud in Oregon by a Republican. Paul Vallely and Charles Jones wants to throw a party. A birther boasts about lying. Dr. Orly whines...

Dispatches from Birtherstan - 23-24 April 2013

Patrick McKinnion — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:16:02 -0700

In today's dispatches, Boy Defective Mike Zullo and his faithful fluffier Carl Gallups continue to insist that they actually have solid evidence, any day now, sure, you betcha, Corsi Corsi why hast thou forsaken us Corsi. Thomas MacLeran takes a break from being a failed Taitz courtroom prop to go back to his roots - writing complete racist claptrap for the Pest and eFail. Dr. Orly has a collective shit fit over the dismissal of her Electoral College and goes off in search of new courtroom props. Marco Ciavolino whines that Terry Lakin hasn't gotten the respect he deserves or...
